My top 10 things to watch Thursday, April 9 1. Stock futures are pointing to a lower open this morning as oil prices are rising. U.S. benchmark WTI crude is up 5% to over $99 a barrel. Will oil tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz resume? Will the ceasefire hold? Iran has already accused the U.S. of breaching it. 2.

My top 10 things to watch Thursday, April 9 1. Stock futures are pointing to a lower open this morning as oil prices are rising. U.S. benchmark WTI crude is up 5% to over $99 a barrel. Will oil tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz resume? Will the ceasefire hold? Iran has already accused the U.S. of breaching it. 2. After yesterday's big relief rally, the S & P 500 has climbed 6.9% from the war-driven bottom on March 30. It's also just 2.8% below its record close on Jan. 27. Yesterday, the market showed you what's worth owning when things calm down. Labor market and inflation are key questions. We learned this morning that the Fed's preferred inflation gauge matched expectations in February, up 3% year over year when excluding food and energy. 3. Club name Meta Platforms and CoreWeave announced an expanded long-term agreement for AI computing capacity worth $21 billion . Meta needs all the compute it can get for things like Reels and its new AI models , and CoreWeave has the chips, including Nvidia' s forthcoming Vera Rubin platform. Clear signal that the AI boom hasn't faded. 4. JPMorgan upgraded Capital One to buy from and hold, naming the credit-card issuer its top pick in the consumer finance sector. The pullback in this Club stock has been frustrating, but JPMorgan sees limited downside from here unless "new tail risks emerge." When Capital One reports in less than two weeks, I want to see clear progress in realizing synergies from the Discover acquisition and learn more about its plans for payments startup Brex . 5. Hormel Foods was downgraded to hold from buy at JPMorgan, with analysts worried about margin headwinds for the maker of Spam and Skippy peanut butter. Packaged food stocks have been a graveyard. Hormel is down 27% over the past year, and its 5% dividend yield hasn't blunted the decline. With plans to buy Unilever's food business, McCormick is arguably the most interesting stock in this neighborhood. 6. Stifel upgraded Texas Instruments to buy fro...

FatCamera/E+ via Getty Images Thesis NovaBridge Biosciences ( NBP ) reported an FY25 GAAP EPS of about -$0.48. So, there have clearly been continued losses, with the company investing pretty heavily in clinical development. Now, even with the negative earnings, the company maintains a decent liquidity position with about $210.8 million in cash and short-term investments. We can expect this sum to provide cash runway through to 2028. My upside thesis would hinge more on continued strong clinical validation of Givastomig. I expect this candidate's progression to be a big driver of the stock, particularly if the upcoming data confirms durable efficacy and clean safety. What we want is a smooth transition into a registrational Phase 3 and a potential accelerated approval pathway to add momentum to shares. If we do see this, it would likely drive a significant re-rating of the pipeline with the market starting to assign a much more meaningful value beyond the company’s current near-cash valuation that we're seeing now. NovaBridge Biosciences NovaBridge Biosciences F Y25 results NovaBridge reported FY25 results this week, and the company seems to still be in transition from a restructuring phase into capital-intensive clinical development. As you would then expect, there’s been a hefty increase in R&D spending, now $62.9 million, up from $21.8 million back in 2024. Now, this was mainly driven by acquisitions such as VIS-101 and Bridge Health assets, but they’ve also made some progress on a few of their lead programs. That being said, it would seem that management’s focus right now is strategic prioritisation of pipeline acceleration over near-term profitability. They reported a net loss from continuing operations of about $88.3 million, a lot wider than the year before. However, I don’t see this deterioration as unusual for a biotech firm entering mid-stage trials. As for spending, administrative expenses remained relatively controlled, rising only slightly to $31.4 milli...
